SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
Section 232 of the Trade Expansion
Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1862) authorizes
the Secretary of Commerce (‘‘the
Secretary’’) to conduct comprehensive
investigations to determine the effects of
imports of any article on the national
security of the United States.
On March 8, 2018, President Trump
issued Proclamations 9704 and 9705,
imposing duties on imports of
aluminum and steel, and authorizing
the Secretary to grant exclusions from
the duties ‘‘if the Secretary determines
the steel or aluminum article for which

the exclusion is requested is not
produced in the United States in a
sufficient and reasonably available
amount or of a satisfactory quality or
should be excluded based upon specific
national security considerations.’’ The
President further directed that the
Secretary issue procedures for
requesting such exclusions within ten
days of the issuance of these
Proclamations.
The purpose of this information
collection is to allow for submission of
exclusions requests from the remedies
instituted in presidential proclamations
adjusting imports of steel into the
United States and adjusting imports of
aluminum into the United States. The

(OSIES) to make a recommendation to
the Secretary or their designee(s)
regarding the favorability of each
Exclusion Request, taking into account
any national security considerations as
well as any received Objections,
Rebuttals, and/or Surrebuttals. The
Secretary or their designee(s) will also
consider information provided by other
agencies or senior executive branch
